Hi guys, Do we actually know what makes gravity? I guess I understand the difference between Newton's approach (he describes it, predicts how it will behave, but does not explain it) and Einstein's (he actually offers an explanation on why it behaves as such through the curving of spacetime...

Hi guys, Would anyone still have the Wideawake International Ascension Ultra 2010 Edition somewhere ? It's supposed to be a quite stable beta and I would like to see if it works with Orbiter 2016, as the current downloadable version does not seem to work (the base is almost under water. Might...

Hi guys, I'm wondering how went your orbiter progression regarding the type of flights and destinations you took when you started up. As I just started, so far my goals have been to be able to : - reliably get the XR-2 in a decent orbit (done) - reliably rendez-vous & dock with all kind of...

Hi guys! I was wondering if there is somewhere a fix for Brighton Beach with Orbiter 2016 and the HD + HD elevation textures. The base is kinda below ground level on some parts (trains, tanks, etc) I've googled for variations around "Brighton Beach fix|update|elevation", etc, but could not...

Hi Orbinauts! Knowing a bit about newtonan physics and Kepler's laws really helps appreciate the incredible feat performed by those fictional engineers in science fiction stories, who design engines so powerful that they allow to zip freely around :lol: Whenever I watch a Sci-fi movie and see...

Hi guys, Last night I achieved my first Moon orbit (using Altea's XR-2). But I did not have enough fuel left to perform my deorbit burn. I'm coming from KSP where I actually never had to take fuel consumption in account directly. There, my only reference was Dv. I would simply build my ships...

Hi Guys! Jerome here, nice to meet you all! I first tried Orbiter more than 10 years ago and that did not turn out pretty :lol: At the time I was fully immersed into X-Plane and when I found myself wanting more than atmospheric flying I started designing swept wings gliders with powered...
